I'm getting a new monitor for Christmas, is there a big difference between brands or is one just as good as another? Right now I have a 15" CRT monitor and I'm looking at getting a 19" LCD.

OK, what's the good AIM-type program for windows? Need something on my work computer here, but can't remember what the preferred program is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like Trillian.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
when in Windows, I second Trillian. Good multi-chat.

Awesome, thanks--I've used Trillian before, I just haven't had a PC in so long, I only remember Adium for my Mac! Have it now, yay.

Hey. New board.
I have heard a lot of good things about Miranda for Windows IMing too. Not that I've tried it.

Trillian! Though it can be resource-heavy.

Hey. New board.
Oh, wow, Pidgin is very clearly a cousin to Adium, my favorite ever IM program (Mac only). I didn't know about that! now I know what I'll be recommending to my Windows/Linux friends...
